SHINee member Onew charged with sexual harassment

Onew, a member of South Korea's popular boy band SHINee, has been charged with sexually harassing a woman in her 20s while dancing at a club.

The 27-year-old was caught Saturday at a club in Seoul's Gangnam District on suspicion of touching the body of a young woman several times. His agency, SM Entertainment, issued a public apology saying the singer was questioned for "physical contact" with a nearby person while dancing.

The woman thought it could happen under the influence of alcohol and dropped charges against the singer, but police decided to go ahead with their investigation to find out what really happened.
